Senior Product Data Engineer- Data Insights (remote, Europe)
Modash · Full-time · Posted 3w ago
Hey, I'm Tadas. I'm hiring a Senior Product Data Engineer for Data Insights, the team that builds Modash's data products.
Modash helps brands find, understand, and work with creators on Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. More than 2,700 companies, including Stanley 1913, Sennheiser, and NordVPN, use us to run and grow their creator partnerships.
Data Insights turns raw social media data into the datapoints customers buy: which brands a creator has worked with, how to contact them, where they're based, and which other creators are like them. Most of the work is taking messy public data across 200M+ profiles and making it accurate enough that a brand will act on it.
In this role you'll own datapoints end to end, from the raw signal to what the customer sees, and you'll be judged on their quality.
At Modash, the data is the product customers pay for. Brands use our collaboration, contact, and location data to decide which creators to work with, and our largest customers take it in regular bulk deliveries through our API.
We need a senior engineer who can take one of these datapoints from a rough idea to a production pipeline and keep improving it after launch. Right now that means building our own creator-location data, using LLMs to find and validate creator contact emails, and matching sponsored posts to the right brand and its parent company.
You'll join a team of four data engineers who work closely with four backend engineers. You'll make important technical decisions yourself, with strong teammates to back you up, and customers will see what you build.

1. Build the datapoints customers pay for.
You'll turn raw posts, bios, and profile data into signals: brand collaborations, contact details, creator location, related creators, and links between one creator's accounts on different platforms.
2. Make data quality measurable.
Every datapoint we ship has automated quality checks. You'll decide what good looks like for your datapoint, measure it per platform against real coverage numbers, and catch regressions before customers do.
3. Take projects from idea to production.
You'll shape the problem, scope the work, design the architecture, write the code, ship it, and learn from how it performs. We expect senior engineers to own the outcome, even when the problem arrives half-defined.
4. Use LLMs where they pay off.
We run LLM enrichment at large scale. You'll decide where an LLM beats a rule or a simpler model, and work out what it costs across 200M+ profiles before it ships.
Most weeks you're on one project for days at a time, with some of your time going to pipeline issues and code review. A typical week might look like this:
Every meeting needs a reason, and we protect time for focused work. You'll have a short standup, pair with people when it helps, and get long stretches to plan, build, and ship.
Requirements
Curiosity about the creator economy helps too, but we'll get you up to speed.
We move quickly and can finish the process in under a week:
